out of expectations of other people not listening and just insulting you back.
i'm pretty sure the feel i get when considering to use a microphone is the same a girl would have thinking of doing it in any instance on the web.
basically , it's just because battlefield became a shithole, sure, the written chat is fun at times, but people still aknowledge deep down that it's only because of the overly aggressive to a point of comical insults people give there, if one where to think randos acted like that in voice chat too, it's pretty obvious why it happens.

but again, that's the good people(or at least what i like to consider myself) the rest most likely just can't bother to get the microphone because they're just playing 1-2 games with no serious intent and then go away,.
kinda like how it was in siege, if there was some kind of competitive mode where all that changed was, say, the requirement to be in a squad is to have a microphone connected, you'd probably see a lot more people using mics.

or at least that's what i think, and i just wke up, so it's hard to make a comment that makes good sense by transcribing my thoughts 1:1 as i think them.

FINALLY! I thought I was going crazy or the problem was just me until someone on BL posted video evidence -- THIS is the type of problem I'm regularly dealing with, ESPECIALLY with the Martini-Henry and to a lesser extent the Seb 1906:

They make so little difference in gameplay that I have to consciously remind myself I have these guns set like this to even notice, which I consider a plus as it just further justifies setting them for aesthetics. I mean, I'd do it regardless, but it's nice.

Not saying I haven't had the odd bullet seem like it didn't connect once a blue moon, but the only thing I can see from that video is "moving spread".

oh yeah the second video, yes, but the one in the forum's link... that's fishy as hell, it's as bad as the infamous shot that made me abandon all hope for bf3 for how incomprehensibly unfair it was...i'm referring to this one to be specific(the one in the forum): SHAREfactory?_201708071928* - YouTube

Okay, I didn't even know the appearance changed with the recoil, since I haven't really messed with it....

So is it that common to get a hitmarker with no corresponding damage points?

Nah, looks like he aimed at the backpack which doesn't have a hitbox. Literally all of those clips that fuckboi linked could be attributed to a near miss or moving spread. That one of the close-up headshot fail might have been legit, but the shot could've also been cock-blocked by the fence. I'm not denying that firing blanks hasn't been an occurrence for someone (likely due to the shooter's/ target's latency), but this isn't one of those cases.

Prepare your laughbox

the Sebstalder is quiet good since it can 3hit kill at any distanc ,but In my opinion i actually thikn the sweeper is better, its got a really really fast firerate that can beat alll those Noobmaticos, Helregall adn shitguns in close quarters , and its also really accurate out to like l;ong range,. overall great allround gun, jsut my 2$ tho
